No, it's a homemade, not an HH. Don't worry, I don't have a real reason, just giving myself some flexibility in case I find that I'd like it a little tighter or looser once I get out there. Maybe my body after some hard miles will want something a little different than it does after a day of sitting on my *** at the office.

Man just when I think I have my setup all figured out someone goes and posts something that I think is a good idea and want to incorperate into my own setup.

Thanks a lot. In a good way.

Keep them coming. I just ordered some rope to use as a ridgeline and to tie the hammock to the straps. I think I am going to can the idea of using the strap for a ridgeline for now. I don't think that will same me any weight because I will just make the side tieouts longer.

I am going to be fiddling with things up until I leave. I'm sure I will be on the ride down thinking, man I should give this a try. Once I hit the trail though I usually leave things alone. I only plan the next project.

Yet another reason why I don't have a definite start date or way down there yet. The bus, as scary as it may seem, is starting to look pretty good.

No, I need a new line. "Hey do you want to come back to my hammock tonight?", isn't seeming to work well for me.
